Abstract	As Robin D'Angelo (2018) describes it, white normativity rests on the "definition of whites as the norm or standard for human, and people of color as a deviation from that norm." Consequently, going beyond white normativity is not a simple feat. Racism and normativity have been an entrenched part of many of cultures, societies, and lives. For some who are part of the white majority population, many have not been able to address racism and normativity effectively, let alone move forward and make changes, because, like an iceberg, much of it lies below the surface. It is invisible, subtle, and unconscious to many in the majority population who benefit from normativity while it is painfully visible for those who suffer under it. As a result of this journey, the author believes the critical issues central to addressing the theme in a meaningful way include (1) understanding white normativity; (2) recognizing how whites contribute to normativity both consciously but more importantly unconsciously; and (3) what needs to change in order to create truly brave spaces in classrooms or houses of worship that will allow to move beyond white normativity and dare to be transformative.
